“Would definitely return again!!!!!”



“Having just got back from our stay, all I can say is what a fantastic long weekend we have had! The location of this cottage is excellent- a very short drive to Lake Windermere and to Ambleside. Some lovely little cafe bars in walking distance to the cottage, which had heat lamps in a cosy seating area outside which was great for us as we brought our dog along for the holiday! The cottage was extremely clean, very well maintained- either the cottage has just recently been refurbished (to a high standard) or the cleaners do an excellent job at maintaining the high standard! Lots of DVDs, games, freebies TV, books and Wifi we all provided, along with the necessities such as toilet roll, towels and washing up liquid!! A great place which we will be recommending to all friends and family!!!!”

“We stayed at Cosy Nook during the Autumn and were actually rather fortunate to have some good weather. Never the less, it was still quite chilly (we live in Australia and so are used to the heat). However, this made the wood burner even more spectacular and appreciated.
Ultimately, this place literally feels like the most coy place on the Lakes. It's not massive, but it doesn't need to be and is quite modern and makes excellent use of the space available. The en suit in the main bedroom is very good. The open plan living area downstairs has a washing machine, dishwasher, fridge, microwave and cooker.
The only slight downfall would be the unavailability of a baby basinet for our 3 month old (but anyone travelling with a baby usually carries a travel cot anyway).
This place prompted my wife to proclaim that if we win the lottery, we'll buy a holiday home in Windermere. While that probably won't happen, if we stay in the Lakes again, we'll certainly consider this as an option first.”

“Excellent Cottage”



“A very well presented cottage, very clean and modern. The two bathrooms came in very handy though the lounge/kitchen was a little bit on the small side. Very well decorated througout and very close to all of the amenities of Windermere. It has a small outside space within a small courtyard too. We were able to park on the street throughout our time there. Would certainly recomend this cottage to others.”

“Fantastic Dog friendly snug Cottage.”



“We loved our stay.
Everything was practically brand new.
The decor was great and overall the cottage was brilliant.
The only issue was a slightly over enthusiastic smoke alarm but other than that We could not have asked for more .
The location is fabulous too as it was nice and quiet but only 150 Meters from the centre if town.
Well thought out and a perfect little spot for a break.”

“Cozy Nook”



“Stayed here with my 2 sisters for a week, the cottage was just 3 mins walk from a supermarket and various coffee shops as well as lots of other shops. Movie theatre just 20 mins walk away, ferry around the Lakes 30 mins walk and train station 10 mins walk around the corner, can even get the train from London. So many tourist attractions in the area, a car is a great idea for exploring the Lakes District which we did every day all day. York is just 150km drive along easy roads with wonderful scenery. Next time I would spend more than a week in this area as there is just so much to do. Would definately recommend this cottage to friends and family alike.”

“Long relaxing weekend away with Dogs!”



“I booked this cottage from the lovely reviews, I wanted something modern, clean, within easy reach of shops/cafes, but also be able to go off to the mountains on long walks with the dogs!!
The cottage was well appointed, clean and modern, nicely decorated, with almost everything you would need, I was surprised to find out on arrival there was no WiFi, as I have always had this even in the remotest locations around the world, the cottage is advertised as having a garden (which is one of the reasons I booked it) as we took two dogs, and a garden was a must really, as I anticipated being able to let them into the garden so we could play with them, or sit out, the only outside space is directly outside the front door, and bcos there are several other occupied cottages right next to Cosy Nook we couldn't do this, so think this should really be taken out of the description as a little mis- leading!
The cottage is warm and well heated, we lit the fire a couple of times, the only other thing I would have wanted was a 'welcome pack' of a few teabags, pint of milk, sml pack of coffee as after a long drive a cuppa something is the first thing we wanted! the booking wasn't cheap for 4 nights, so I expected a bit more from it (as noted above) but I have already recommended cosy nook to a cottage, so its was lovely but a few improvments could be made.
thanks”

“We had a lovely stay at Cosy Nook, so central for everything. The house was well equipped and we would definitely recommend it.”

Mrs Mckeown, Shotts, September 2014

“Excellent cottage that was positioned perfectly for us to enjoy our time in the Lakes. Close to the park in Windermere so that early morning dog walks were convenient. Easy walking distance to the shops, bars and restaurants in Windermere itself and a nice walk into Bowness. Excellent location for wider trips to Keswick, Grizedale Forest & Ullswater.”
